Is Erase All Content And Settings Alone Enough?

[letmein33]

Things have changed somewhat in the last two years (when this thread started).

In order to do an Erase All Contents and Settings on your device now (later versions of iOS) you are asked for your Apple ID password. You can't continue unless you provide it.

Doing so means the device is automatically signed out from all Apple services and removed from Find my iPhone before it's wiped.

That means the new owner gets a stock device.

How can they access your stuff if on a stock device you've never signed in?

So, no, they can't.

Thank you for confirming

Hello,

Same situation here.
I Erased All Contents and Settings on my device at the beginning of September and the I sold it.
I really don't remember if I was asked to log out from my icloud.
I certainly didn't log out from icloud before i select erase all contents and settiongs
Today (after 1 month) I logged in to my icloud account and the iphone was there under my devices and I removed it.
of course, the phone couldn't be located in find my phone app map.
Do you think that the new owner have access to my data?
